Police brutality is the wanton use of excessive force, usually physical, but potentially in the form of verbal attacks and psychological intimidation, by a police officer. Widespread police brutality exists in many countries, even those that prosecute it. It is one of several forms of police misconduct, which include: false arrest, intimidation, racial profiling, political repression, surveillance abuse, sexual abuse and police corruption.

Yes! ALWAYS have your camera handy and ready to go!, if you have the direct upload to YOUTUBE App. set it up and know how to operate it quickly, any passenger you travel with ask them to start filming the minute you encounter the Police no matter how routine it seems. All Bullies and Wrong doers fear exposure! The Video Cam is the perfect weapon for today`s legal warfare, it`s your perfect witness.......look at the Robert Dzangski case in BC, interestingly the Cops filed their notes before they knew about the video. They still got off scott free, however one of them has already committed suicide of presumably a guilty conscience....or was it that we all saw with our own eyes what the hell happened, just like the kid that was shot on the TTC recently we all saw what happened, there is no "Jumping to conclusions" as Bill Blair said (as was also said in the RCMP`s case too!)and on a side bar to that, there were 9 shots fired, only three hit the kid, that means that 6 of those bullets were stray`s, with glass windows and people on the other side of the road? remind me not to take this guy hunting!!!

The video camera is our friend, it is a peaceful way to level the playing field...what Irony that we use the same terms to describe the actions of a video camera as we do to the other great playing field leveler..the Gun......we shoot with both, but now in the information age the camera is the ultimate weapon and everyone has access to it! And any Cop that does`nt like it better think about this........all we are asking for is a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD!, which I don`t think is a lot to ask and the video Cam is going to keep you honest buddy! No more of this Bullying bullshit or you`re on YouTube(for life!) so you Mom and Dad and Wife and Friends can see what a Lovable kind of Guy you turned out to be! So my compatriots keep your self ARMED (with a video cam) at all times and be prepared to SHOOT any time you see injustice or a Cop overstepping the bounds of "Reasonable Force" TO DO THIS IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW BOTH SUPREME COURTS IN CANADA AND THE US HAVE RULED ON THIS ISSUE..KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

Very well written! You are absolutely right. Ironically, in the modern day-and-age easy-to-access technology MUST be used to protect ourselves from the people whose job is to protect us. I wholeheartedly agree with what you are saying and encourage people to follow your advice.
